1) Important factors that helped the film industry in Japan and Hollywood were by using a similar film industry, primarily the concept of 'vertical integration'. Creating large studio systems and solidifying bases of distribution and exhibition provided the necessary profit to increase their production values and simply create more films. Vertical integration allowed for fewer, larger companies control the market and gain very large profits while also containing their profits to themselves. Along with Japan and the US’s large movie-going populations, Japan even larger than the US, eventually drove up the demand for films. In an ongoing cycle countries like Japan and the US were able to solidify a steady stream of films, pushing their limits as they go and successfully dominating the world film industry.
3) New Wave and New Cinema changed the face of the film industry because a new generation of faces were starting to emerge. The generation of the ‘Baby Boomers’ were starting to come of age during the 60’s and 70’s and began making films by the youth, for the youth. Tired with the fantasies of Hollywood, the perpetuating myths that movies can make, young filmmakers such as Glauber Rocha, the influential Brazilian filmmaker and creator of Cinema Novo, focused more on social themes that focused more on the real people. No longer was cinema mainly utilized as a medium of entertainment, like a majority of films just prior to WW2, but now film was utilized as a tool for social change. Young filmmakers were aimed at addressing themes that reflected the youth and the counterculture. In light of these new artistic directions in cinema a whole new wave of young viewers started to shape the new face of cinema away from the voyeurism of Hollywood.

5) Hitchcock’s film The Trouble with Harry (1955) serves as a metaphor of life in the 50’s because the film very beautifully and softly shot, however the underlining events are much more sinister and dark and suggests that the tranquility of the 50’s is a façade. The 50’s marked a high point in American hysteria with the fear of communism and the fear of nuclear war. The 50’s also marked a critical era of TV, shows like Leave it to Beaver that represent America as a happy, structured and fruitful society and left out many, if not all, important social problems of the time. The Trouble with Harry plays with a similar tranquil and innocent representation of society on the surface, while gun shots and dead bodies pulls the audience out of the façade and presents the social problems of society that TV simply ignores.

PART 4

1) The Paramount Decision primarily ended block booking, where theaters were given a required ‘block’ of films they had to show. With block booking there really isn’t much competition in what films receive attention and which ones do not, because they are exhibited at a standard rate controlled by the film companies. The end of block-booking now allowed for a larger field of competition between what kinds of films were made, Independent films and Hollywood films. No longer could the film companies simply slap together a

The History and Origin of Film Making
Film making has been around for a long time now, but most people don’t realize how incredible an achievement it was when it first started. Before film there were no movies. It is very hard for me to even imagine a world without movies, a world where people had to use their imagination to make a story come to life through spoken and written word. That was what life was life about 140 years ago.
People lived that way until the late 1880’s, when the…

this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.” In the film 300 directed by Zack Snyder and based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, King Leonidas of Sparta stands before the Persian ruler, or god-king, Xerxes and depicts to the audience an imagery of the bravery, loyalty, and determination of the Spartan army. This scene is just one of many that the film makers chose to include in this retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae. The film 300 presents its audience with views of how ancient Athens…

March 6, 1836 with now survivors (Milford, 2013). Even with the short duration of the battle, and the few firsthand accounts, this battle has become to be known as one of the greatest battles in American history, specifically in Texas, becoming a large source of pride and unity for the state.

A Philip Randolph: For Jobs and Freedom Film Notes
1. What do you think the film maker is trying to say?
I feel that the main point that the film maker is trying to make, is that had it not been for the leadership and determination Randolph, the social gains realized by the civil rights movement would not have been possible.
2. What is particularly significant about Randolph?
I feel that there were many…

As the beginning of 21st century media and casting world have adapted interest in representing history through film on all type of screens. Time to time this has showed great emotional political disagreements over rival understandings of the past. At the same time it has lead to political apologies such as Kevin Rudd to the stolen generation for the past. Although this has suddenly become historical responsibility and apology topics in domestic politics and international diplomatic relations, and…

Spike Lee's film Bamboozled (2000), cinematically stages American mass entertainment's history of discrimination with humiliating minstrel stereotypes which was first brought to film in 1915 by D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. Blackface' minstrelsy is a disturbing legacy that began as a tradition in the early 1800s on stage, with white actors using burnt corks to darken their skin and "allowing them to portray African-American slaves, usually as lazy, child-like providers of comic relief"…

Selma Film Review
The motion picture
Selma
directed by Ava DuVernay and starring David Oyelowo,
Common, and many more, depicts the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery led by Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and college activists. While
Selma
was praised for its dramatic
retelling of history, DuVernay humanizes King from his “magic moment” on Washington
D.C., to a man with family conflict and a choir of critics. Often King is known as a “savior”
who has garnished worldwide…

Crucible of War
Michael Mann’s film, The Last of the Mohicans, and Fred Anderson’s novel, Crucible of War, describes the events of the French and Indian war that took place in the 1750’s in very much similar ways. The film has a set agenda that describes what took place during the French and Indian War. However, from a different person’s perspective could be perceived as being a film for pure entertainment, if not both. From the beginning to the end, the film is very much related to what really…
